FW: Install problems Fedora Core 3 - Dell OptiPlex....

[Irving, Dave]

Ah ha... A bit more googling and I found "linux nofb"... Im kinda
understanding what I was supposed to be doing now... I'll try the install
the way you (and the release notes which I should of read first)
recommended....

Hmmmm.... One difference is that it didn't detect the monitor type with nofb
(it did before) - so don't know if I'll need to change something after the
install.
Much more worrying though is that Im ** still ** getting the bad repainting
problems during the install.... A good sign its going to fail....??
:o(

When the grub display comes up, hit "a" on the keyboard. This should display
the boot command line. Add a space and then nofb.

BTW, have you read the release notes?
